Likely high moisture content in the fluid. When hot it boils. Flush the fluid.

I checked the moisture in the Brake fluid and found it to be very high. Therefore I will either bleed or flush the system as you suggested.
It appears moisture develops over time in the line and needs to be bled out. I will let you know if this is successful.
Thanks
